Customer Reviews

Boker Straight Razor for a Close ShaveCheck Price
In the Boker straight razor reviews on Amazon, several customers pointed out that you get exactly what you pay for. In this instance, you may be paying considerably more than an average razor. However, you are purchasing an excellent product that is extremely well made.

Some customers noted that they did not receive a razor that was shave-ready, but other customers noted that they did. If you have a strop to sharpen your razor with, dullness should not be an issue.

You do need to take care of this razor so that it does not develop rust or corrosion spots. Although many customers felt that the handle was strong and durable, a few customers noted that the handle needed a better grip in order to keep a better hold on the razor. There were several comments on the fragility of the scales.

Despite this being somewhat of a downside, customers still indicated that they would purchase this Boker King Cutter razor again. If you like the idea of getting back in touch with tradition and shaving with a straight razor, this is a very excellent option for you. Overall, this is a great straight razor that is well worth the investment.
